When I want to start my angular 2 app using "npm start". I get errors: enter image description here

I tried a lot of "solutions" from internet, but nothing works. My versions:

  1. npm - 4.1.2
  2. typings - 2.1.0
  3. node - 7.5.0

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {

    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "lib": ["es2015", "dom"],
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true
}
}

polyfills.ts

import 'core-js/es6';
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';
require('zone.js/dist/zone');
if (process.env.ENV === 'production') {
  // Production
} else {
  // Development and test
  Error['stackTraceLimit'] = Infinity;
  require('zone.js/dist/long-stack-trace-zone');
}

tsconfig.json:

compilerOptions: {
   ...
   "typeRoots": [ "../node_modules/@types" ],
   ...
}

or

main.ts:

/// <reference types="node" />
